Hannah Waddingham felt it was important to say “thank you” to Jason Sudeikis<\/a> in her Christmas special.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hannah Waddingham has a new festive special<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old actress’ ‘Ted Lasso’ co-star made a surprise appearance at the end of her ‘Home for Christmas’ Apple TV+ festive special and she explained she was keen to pay tribute to her friend after he drew her attention to her singing talents on a festive episode of the sporting comedy series.<\/p>\n

She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I went to Jason and said, ‘Is there a world in which we can do a thing where you are doffing your cap at the end and I can say thank you to you for affording me this glorious platform?’<\/p>\n

“[The fans] were lovely and so was Jason in the first place to get me singing on the show. I was the one at the time that was like, ‘Why is a football club owner singing?’ And Jason was like, ‘You’re singing.’<\/p>\n

“To arrive into ‘Ted Lasso’ and to meet people like Jason Sudeikis<\/a>, Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein – people that love musical theatre – to then be ask to bring out that part of me for ‘Ted Lasso’ was insane.”<\/p>\n

\nThe success of the episode led to Hannah and her manager pitching the idea of the Christmas special and she admitted it was a “no brainer” to involve other ‘Ted Lasso’ stars, including Phil Dunster, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “It was a no brainer then to go to Apple and say, ‘Look, let’s do this and let’s have as many of the AFC Richmond Greyhounds with us as possible.’<\/p>\n

\n“They had to be there, really… because they are so much a part of what I’ve become. They know that I would be there with them in a heartbeat, without doubt.”<\/p>\n

\nAnd it was important to the former ‘Game of Thrones’ actress to film at the London Coliseum, where her mother frequently performed as an opera singer.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “I used to sit there listening to all the opera singers, watching my mum… that moved me without doubt and without question into musical theater.”<\/p>\n

\nUltimately, Hannah hopes she has made “something timeless and beautiful that everyone can sit down and watch.”<\/p>\n

\nShe added: “I think in a sea of discourse and unhappiness if people get 45 minutes of making them smile, making them cry, making them think of a lost loved one, that’s what I want to do.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
